A financial services firm replicates a PowerStore volume to a remote site for disaster recovery. The RPO must be 15 minutes, and the remote system is already paired. You create a data protection policy with a replication rule. Which additional configuration is required to ensure the replication rule takes effect?

Create a snapshot rule with a 15-minute frequency and add it to the policy.

Apply the policy to the volume.

Manually start an initial replication session before applying the policy.

Ensure the remote system is set as the destination in the replication rule.

What is a common cause of replication failure in PowerStore?

Incorrect snapshot retention settings

Too many snapshots on the source volume

Insufficient CPU resources on the local system

Network connectivity issues between the local and remote systems

What is the primary purpose of a data protection policy in Dell PowerStore?

To manage physical disk health and replace failed drives automatically.

To set user permissions for accessing storage resources.

To configure network settings for replication traffic between PowerStore systems.

To define a set of snapshot and replication rules that can be applied to storage resources for automated protection.

A PowerStore administrator notices that a replicated volume has not been synchronized for several hours, even though the replication rule specifies an RPO of 15 minutes. The remote system is online. What is the first step to diagnose the issue?

Delete the replication rule and recreate it with a shorter RPO.

Check the replication session status and any alerts in PowerStore Manager.

Reboot the remote system to re-establish the connection.

Remove the policy from the volume and reapply it.

A PowerStore administrator needs to change the data protection policy on a volume from Policy A (snapshot rule with 1-day retention) to Policy B (snapshot rule with 7-day retention). The volume currently has snapshots created under Policy A. What will happen to those existing snapshots?

They will be deleted immediately when the policy is changed.

They will inherit the new 7-day retention from Policy B.

They will be converted to manual snapshots and retained indefinitely.

They will remain until their original 1-day retention expires, then be deleted.
